"Fairyland Planet" by John Silletto is a science fiction novel likely written in the mid-20th century. The story explores the whimsical realm of Fairyland, a unique planet inhabited by adults with childlike minds who are cared for by a 'Daddy' figure, who is both a guardian and a source of wonder, as he oversees a community of happy children who believe fervently in figures like Santa Claus. The work delves into themes of innocence, curiosity, and the pursuit of truth in an environment that has carefully crafted its own version of happiness. The narrative primarily follows Harry Barnaby, also known as Daddy, who struggles with the natural curiosity of one of the children, Adam-Two, who begins to question established beliefs like the existence of Santa Claus and magic. Adam's inquisitive nature leads to challenges that unravel the fabric of Fairyland, prompting deeper reflections on the very nature of happiness and maturity. As the story unfolds, the dynamics between the characters reveal the tension between maintaining innocence and confronting uncomfortable truths. Ultimately, it becomes a journey of growth not only for Adam but for Daddy as well, as they navigate the complexities of knowledge, belief, and the transition from childhood to adulthood.
